Generally we view pain as a negative feeling; something uncomfortable, leading to prolonged suffering and distress. I often wonder, could pain affect us in a positive way if we changed our view toward it?

It’s no secret, we’ve all dealt with pain. Whether from a breakup or mourning the death of a loved one. No one is exempt from pain, including me. As uncomfortable and displeasing as it may be, pain provides an opportunity for purification. It brings with it the possibility to become better.

Whenever my days are packed with clients, training sessions, or meetings, this is my go-to meal. It's quick and easy prep makes this a great salad for anytime of day.

Today is a day of traditional celebration. It’s a day filled with ghosts, ghouls and goblins, cartoon characters and Disney personalities. A day where little boys dress up as their favorite superheroes and little girls are draped in princess and ballerina attire. By midday, most neighborhood stores are sold out of candy, while parents are preparing to take their kids out for a night of Trick or Treating.

In the spirit of Halloween, with all of the costumes and disguises, I felt it was only right to discuss with you all, why it’s important to stop hiding behind a mask.
